Enrique:

I am sorry to report that your workaround does not appear to work. Looks
like I may to to getlostinforumhell.

Here's what my computer said about your workaround:

It's a precarious operation to force on a user anyway (I say that of the

of the list. The list then progresses from oldest to second most recent.
I nearly deleted the most recent kernel.
